Item Overview

Description

Mark Bercier (American/Louisiana, b. 1950), "Still Life with Healin", gouache on handmade paper, signed and dated lower left "Bercier 2012", sheet 29-1/2" x 21-1/2". Glazed and framed. Bercier is a prolific artist who uses his own visual language, composed of hieroglyphic-like symbols found in the background of his work. He explains: "For the past two decades I have been working with a language created from twenty-six images juxtaposed with twenty-six words, that do not necessarily go together. This personal iconography reflects my fascination with language, both visual and verbal, and our ways of communication, or lack thereof. It has taken taken me years to collect this language and incorporate it into my paintings, prints, drawings and sculpture. The language is called The Healin' Symbols."
